Sharing files in XP
I cannot share files off of my desktop from my wireless laptop. Here are the
details: I'm treating the desktop as a server w/printer attached. Both machines are XP Pro sp3. Both have Print & File Sharing enabled & Simple Sharing turned off. The laptop can print to the shared printer. No 3rd party firewall s/w, Windows firewall disabled on both computers. When I try to connect to the shared files (on the desktop) I get that //comp/shared is not accessible... No permissions, network path not found error. The problem occurs whether the laptop connects either wirelessly or wired to the router (Netgear WGR614v6). Both computers have a login in common & the same workgroup (though I'm hoping that this can be changed also for work reasons) |
